New maritime safety project to improve methanol fire safety

Overview
Lloyd’s Register Foundation has awarded £378,000 to a new initiative led by DBI – The Danish Institute of Fire and Security Technology, tackling one of the maritime sector’s most urgent safety challenges: fire risk from methanol, one of the alternative fuels in the global green transition.
The MEFISTO – Methanol Fire Safety Tools project will create tested safety solutions that support the safe use of methanol as a marine fuel and help shipowners meet regulatory requirements.
In collaboration with Maersk, OMT Group, Safetytech Accelerator, and RelyOn, Jomo Kenyatta University of Agriculture and Technology (JKUAT) Marine Engineering and Maritime Operations Department, MEFISTO combines rigorous testing, industry validation, and regulatory engagement.
With over 80 per cent of global trade moving by sea, maritime safety is essential for this critical link in the supply chain. Lloyd’s Register Foundation is committed towards engineering a safer world. This project supports that by generating the evidence needed to guide regulation, improve training, and enable the safe adoption of new fuels like methanol.”
